Chinese New Year of the Pig Song 小猪小猪肥嘟嘟

Chinese New Year: 小猪 pig song and puzzle craft for kids

Happy Year of the Pig!!!  According to the Chinese Zodiac Calendar, 2019 is 猪年 (zhū nián / year of the pig).  小猪小猪肥嘟嘟 is a cute pig song that’s perfect for kids to learn! I typed up the Chinese pig song lyrics in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and Pinyin so that you can download, print, and learn the song with family and friends.

Last weekend, my family went to a local Chinese New Year celebration with a lion dance, Chinese singing, and cultural food.  My daughter and other Chinese children sang songs in Mandarin Chinese, including 小猪小猪肥嘟嘟 (Xiǎo zhū xiǎo zhū féi dū dū / Little Chubby Pig)

You can listen to this children’s Mandarin Chinese song for free in the following links:

Since we try to limit screen time for our children, we just turn the phone face-down while listening to the music (my kids are used to mommy doing this).

Removing animation allows them to focus on listening to the music and Chinese words and memorizing the song lyrics!

I used large font for the Chinese characters so that it’s easier for both children and adults to read.

Since my daughter reads simplified Chinese well, I printed out traditional Chinese versions of familiar text for her to teach herself.  Here is a close-up of the traditional Chinese lyrics.

Chinese New Year Pig Song: Minimizing Hanyu Pinyin Distractions

For the 小猪小猪肥嘟嘟 versions with Hanyu Pinyin, I used light grey font so that it doesn’t distract from the Chinese characters.

I also put the Pinyin below Chinese characters so that your eyes look at the characters first (assuming that people read from top to bottom).

When Pinyin is present, I have a hard time focusing on the Chinese characters.

Here is the simplified Chinese with Pinyin version that I printed for myself.  My hope is that this design can help Pinyin-dependent learners like myself read Chinese characters better!

Chinese New Year Pig Song: Importance of handwriting lyrics

My daughter’s Chinese teacher actually handwrote the lyrics for her, and I had to take a photo because her handwriting is so neat!

If you can write Chinese and have some time to spare, I recommend writing the lyrics for your kids.

Handwriting allows kids to see how each character is formed.

In addition, exposure to handwriting allows kids to become familiar with recognizing personal variations in Chinese characters.
